A Saturday Of Variety

Good afternoon everyone,

Well last night's stream opened up with Sammy Sosa High Heat Baseball 2001 on the PlayStation, which ironically was released in 2000. Unlike Triple Play 98, released in 1997, SSHHBB01 has not aged well in terms of its presentation which was a shame considering how many awards and how highly regarded it was when it released. Thankfully it has a lot of options that allow for a casual experience, but its certainly not a sports game I would want to revisit unless I want to do a full season run of the 2000 MLB Season.

We also took at look at 007 Racing, also on the PlayStation, which was a game I was moderately okay at playing 20 years ago, but trying to relearn it while playing it with a 16:9 ratio instead of 4:3 which made things harder to see. We did managed to clear the prologue and saw that the cheats still work, so that's a positive. Forgot how bad the voice acting was when it came to folks doing a bad Pierce Bronson impression for many of the Bond games of the late 90s and early 00s. On a side note, the audio mix for 007 racing is fucking horrific when playing with headphones.

Next we hooked up the PlayStation 2 to mess around a bit with WWE SmackDown Shut Your Mouth. Released in late 20002, this game had a decent roster from the early part of that year. Funny enough, since I still had my memory cards and save files, that meant my created wrestlers were still there. Played several manages highlighting Hulk Hogan, Trish Stratus, William Regal and Stone Cold.

Lastly we jumped to the Xbox One to play some Fall Guys, and managed to win a few rounds in the limited run Sweet Thieves mode, which meant we were able to get a couple of achievements which was pretty cool and surprising.

Side note: We did have a couple minute issue with the upstream, but my internet connection did not go down fully.

During the stream viewers kicked in a few bits, and also RedFoxCovUK renewed their subscription for the channel! As always Thanks for the support you guys rock!

For the raid we dropped in on Daemonsw0lf who was playing AI: The Somnium Files - Nirvana Initiative over at twitch.tv/Daemonsw0lf!Dae did ask when I would play it, and my answer is simple, either when I'm gifted it or catch on sale for a reasonable price. 

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Difficult Challenge Combo #2, Difficult Challenge Combo #2 and Block Combo for 34 minutes. 

You know with how much I've been playing Dr. Mario as of late I really should do a stream based around the NES games that are available through the Nintendo Switch.

A new week is starting, so let's look back at all the things we played last week which included Overwatch, Star Trek Online, Capcom Fighting Collection, SMite, Persona 4 Arena, Fallout 76, Final Fantasy XIV, Persona 5 Strikers, Sammy Sosa High Heat Baseball 2001, 007 Racing, WWE SmackDown Shut Your Mouth and Fall Guys!
